The State of the Modern Meeting: Commutes and Conference Rooms No Longer Required

Click through for findings from BlueJeans Network's inaugural report The State of the Modern Meeting.

Blue Jeans Network recently introduced The State of the Modern Meeting, its inaugural report benchmarking trends in collaboration and demonstrating how technology is reshaping meetings. The report reveals that people are joining meetings from anywhere and everywhere and that women are leading the charge.
